THE JUDGE. presents its regards to that prince of publishers and gentlemen George W. Childs, and begs to compliment him on the beauty of his Public Ledyer, which is now as pronounced as the wisdom and sagacity that have always characterized that honest and upright news- paper.

BALFOUR has been inciting the protestants of Ulster to insur- rection, and when home rule comes he may be brought up for treason, if not for the lower crime of instigating murder. But he will not be shot or hanged. It is the lower classes who do the real fighting and suffer the real loss of life; and Mr. Balfour can put his conscience in de- fense and get off with a reprimand. These distinctions of guilt apply with peculiar force in all church wars that result from complicated poli NO CONSPIRACY! THE MOTTO of some labor organizations is, “ Strike while the world- fair is hot.” That course has been openly and secretly advocated, and it is the doctrine of force against tremendous public and private inter- ests, to say nothing of the good name and commercial honor of the coun- Perhaps there could be no better definition of the kind of conspiracy recently considered by the courts, and if labor values sympathy it will postpone a temporary advantage in behalf of one that shall be better and last longer. LIZZIE BORDEN AND JEFF DAVIS. L1221F BORDEN has been in jail nearly a year, awaiting the leisure of the prosecuting authorities. ‘The trouble is that the authorities be- lieve her guilty and can't prove it. There are also rewards of various kinds for her conviction. The right of trial belonged to Jefferson Davis, and in lieu of trial Horace Greeley and another gentleman signed his bail-bond—not in behalf of Davis but in vindication of the fair play that belongs to prisoners. But Lizzie Borden is a woman, and the prejudice against her is so great that ap- parently she has no rights what- ever WHEN SENTIMENT GOES MAD. FARMER raised the American flag over a dilapidated hen- coop, and his neighbors rather truthfully declared that it was ‘an indignity to the banner; but the man who hauls down the flag must be shot on the spot. The neighbors told him to remove the flag and said if he didn’t do it they would. He didn’t, and they hauled it down with a violence that tore off several stars. Nobody can blame them; and yet, according to the unreflect- ive sentiment very properly begun John A. Dix at a time when “hauling down” meant something, they must be shot on the spot and may heaven have mercy on their souls. SOME RECENT HUMOR. OME MALE STUDENTS of . a college have disfigured five young men for life with nitrate of silver. Some girl students have marked the necks and breasts of several young women in the same way. This is called hazing, but the proper term for it is savagery; and to make the term more appropriate it may be added that one night the male students danced a war-dance in the presence of the young women, clad only in their night-shirts. At a factory a number of girls stuffed an “ uppish” companion in a barrel and rolled her down a hill, and she is now a maniac; but we must remember that they belonged to a lower grade of society. RAN AFTE hever yo" an’ Geems is married er not. PEDIGREE. THERE IS NO REAL REASON why the duke of Veragua should have unusual honors. Among the descendants of Columbus there were doubtless many persons who were rascals, but the rule that honors the duke would honor them. Pedigree 1s well enough, and the duke is a clean man and an expert in the pedigree of bulls; but the aristocracy of this country is better than that of Europe because it builds its own fort- unes and in some cases is not ashamed of the gratifying fact. The late Mr. Adam was the first gentleman of his time, and he couldn't look bac! to the first ancestor. Our aristocracy is weak only because it is ashamed of itself, and must needs marry titles that are inherited and in most cases totally without merit. Thereby it becomes vulgar; and it is amazing that all society and a large portion of the populace look at it with awe that is not unmixed with admiration comicbooks.com
